EVENTS for Sk8 Church

Buck & Tara started doing Sk8 Church as their full time jobs in January 2008. They have an amazing volunteer staff that they couldn’t live without! There is much more work to be done in this valley to see people set free from addictions, hurts, hang ups, and destruction. Sk8 Church is here to make a lasting difference and it all started when God saved 2 people and brought them together to make a difference!

Thursday Nights

Buck & Tara host Sk8 Church @ 7:00pm every Thursday night at their home in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This weekly bible study is open to everyone who loves skateboarding and wants to know more about Jesus Christ. Food is provided to feed those hungry souls and stomachs too. During the summer months (weather permitting) Sk8 Church is held at the local skate park in downtown Steamboat Springs.

Outreaches

Saturday morning Sk8 Church hosted, with local churches sponsoring, Craig Gross from xxxchurch.com for an event called porn and pancakes. We had over 120 men show up to learn about or get help for pornography. We had 9 different churches (Holy Name Catholic, Church of Christ, Steamboat Christian Center, Euzoa Bible Church, Evangelical Free, Anchor Way Baptist, St Paul Episcopal, Sk8 Church, & Concordia Lutheran) bring people from their congregations and the feedback we got was awesome! Guys were stoked to be at an event that was addressing a really sensitive issue. It was so cool to see believers from all different churches fellowshipping together to support each other. It definitely was more church crowd than we expected, but that is where the statistics say there is the biggest struggle so it was good! Craig Gross is a great speaker that talks so openly about not hiding our addictions. He had a friend there that shared his story.

His friend was an elder and regular church goer for years but secretly caught up in pornography and sexual addiction. It tore his life and family apart for years and he told of all the heartache and struggle he put his family through. Then his 13 year old son got up and told about what it was like to go through all that and what it was like to have a dad that was into porn and adultery. It was so powerful! With the help of Jesus the family is back together, the dad is free from addiction AND he and his wife counsel couples that are struggling with porn and adultery! God is so AMAZING!! It made me realize that anyone of us could be that caught up in addiction and if we all minded our own business it just stays secret and festering.

Galatians 6:1-2 "Brothers, if someone is caught up in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you may also be tempted. Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

Another close friend of ours spoke about his long struggle with pornography. We had no idea that such a good friend lived with that secret! His testimony was incredible and he also attested to the fact that without Christ he would not be free from his addiction! So powerful!!

Mission Trips

Summer is a fun time for us to take kids out of Steamboat and skate different parks around Denver and teach them how to serve other people at the Denver Rescue Mission. These weekend missions trips are a great way to connect on a deeper level with the people we work with at sk8 church and it helps them see the effects that drugs and alcohol can have on your body and life. Our goal is to take 4 small trips a year!
